An RP-HPLC method for simultaneous determination of 9 NSAIDs (paracetamol, salicylic acid, ibuprofen, naproxen, aceclofenac, diclofenac, ketorolac, etoricoxib, and aspirin) and their commonly prescribed combination drugs (thiocolchicoside, moxifloxacin, clopidogrel, chlorpheniramine maleate, dextromethorphan, and domperidone) was established. The separation was performed on ∘ Kromasil C18 (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 m) at 35 C using 15 mM phosphate buffer pH 3.25 and acetonitrile with gradient elution ata flow rate of 1.1 mL/min. The detection was performed by a diode array detector (DAD) at 230 nm with total run time of 30min. 2 Calibration curves were linear with correlation coefficients of determinationr ( ) > 0.999. Limit of detection (LOD) and Limit of quantification (LOQ) ranged from 0.04 to 0.97 g/mL and from 0.64 to 3.24 g/mL, respectively.

  • Benzodiazepine Group ELISA Kit
    Benzodiazepine Group ELISA Kit Benzodiazepine Background Since their introduction in the 1960s, benzodiazepines have been widely prescribed for the treatment of anxiety, insomnia, muscle spasms, alcohol withdrawal, and seizure-prevention as they are depressants of the central nervous system. Despite the fact that they are highly effective for their intended use, benzodiazepines are prescribed with caution as they can be highly addictive. In fact, researchers at NIDA (National Institute on Drug Abuse) have shown that addiction for benzodiazepines is similar to that of opioids, cannabinoids, and GHB. Common street names of benzodiazepines include “Benzos” and “Downers”. The five most encountered benzodiazepines on the illicit market are alprazolam (Xanax), lorazepam (Ativan), clonazepam (Klonopin), diazepam (Valium), and temazepam (Restori). The method of abuse is typically oral or snorted in crushed form. The DEA notes a particularly high rate of abuse among heroin and cocaine abusers. Designer benzodiazepines are currently offered in online shops selling “research chemicals”, providing drug abusers an alternative to prescription-only benzodiazepines. Data defining pharmacokinetic parameters, drug metabolisms, and detectability in biological fluids is limited. This lack of information presents a challenge to forensic laboratories. Changes in national narcotics laws in many countries led to the control of (phenazepam and etizolam), which were marketed by pharmaceutical companies in some countries. With the control of phenazepam and etizolam, clandestine laboratories have begun researching and manufacturing alternative benzodiazepines as legal substitutes. Delorazepam, diclazepam, pyrazolam, and flubromazepam have emerged as compounds in this class of drugs.

There has been no study about nefopam and oxycodone combina- tion for postoperative analgesia. In this study, we present efficacy and side effects of nefo- pam/oxycodone compared with ketorolac/oxycodone in patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) after gynecologic surgery. Methods: 120 patients undergoing gynecologic surgery were divided randomly into two groups: Nefopam group treated with oxycodone 1 mg and nefopam 1 mg bolus; and Ketorolac group treated with oxycodone 1 mg and ketorolac 1.5 mg bolus.

  • ACUPAN Tablets
    Consumer Medicine Information ACUPAN™ Nefopam hydrochloride 30 mg tablets What is in this leaflet This leaflet answers some common questions about ACUPAN tablets. However, it does not contain all the available information. It does not take the place of talking to your doctor or pharmacist. If you have any questions about ACUPAN that are not answered by this leaflet, ask your doctor or pharmacist. All medicines have risks and benefits. Your doctor has weighed the risks of you taking ACUPAN against the benefits before prescribing it to you. If you are worried about taking this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Keep this leaflet with your medicine as you may want to read it again. What ACUPAN is used for The name of your medicine is ACUPAN. ACUPAN belongs to a group of medicines called analgesics, commonly known as pain killers or pain relievers. It contains nefopam hydrochloride as the active ingredient. Nefopam hydrochloride interrupts the pain messages being sent to your brain, and it also acts in your brain to stop pain messages being felt. This means that ACUPAN does not stop the pain from happening, but you will not be able to feel the pain as much. ACUPAN is used to relieve both short term pain and long lasting pain (for example pain after an operation, dental pain, joint or muscle pain or after an injury). ACUPAN should not be used to treat the pain from a heart attack. Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why this medicine has been prescribed for you. Your doctor may have prescribed ACUPAN for another purpose.

  • Pharmacological Management of Epilepsy
    Epilepsy management ❚ Review Pharmacological management of epilepsy Carole Brown MSc Clin Pharm, MPS, PIP, PwSI epilepsy There have been significant advances in the management of epilepsy since the appearance of bromide in 1857. In the last decade, many new drugs have been developed and general understanding of the condition has improved. Here, Pharmacist Epilepsy Practitioner, Carole Brown, considers the current choice of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), mode of action, newer AEDS, when to start treatment, epilepsy guidelines, adverse effects of AEDs, generic substitution, therapeutic drug monitoring, driving, contraception and bone health. ong-term antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) remain the main- AEDs exert their effects in a number of ways: Lstay of epilepsy treatment. AEDs eliminate or reduce 1. Modulation of intrinsic membrane conduct- seizure frequency in up to 60–70% of patients.1 Treat- ance, to inhibit excessive firing of neurones, the ment for chronic diseases such as epilepsy means that main targets being sodium and calcium channels, patients often have complex medication regimens to exerting their therapeutic effect by preferential incorporate into their daily routines. AED choice should binding to the inactivated state of the sodium be tailored to individual patient factors that may limit channel, eg phenytoin, lamotrigine and carbamaz- medication use such as tolerability, treatment adherence epine. Kinetics vary, so carbamazepine binds less and side-effect profile. Non-adherence rates among potently but faster than phenytoin. The drugs pre- patients with epilepsy range from 30–50%.2 Clinicians vent the sustained repetitive firing of neurones so treating epilepsy patients note that non-adherent patients prolong the refractory period. Presynaptic pro- report more difficulty in attaining seizure control than teins modulate release of neurotransmitters patients adherent with their medication.
